Air Traffic Management Principles Performance Markets

Air Traffic Management Principles Performance Markets

This book addresses each of the Air Navigation Services' five broad categories of services provided to air traffic during all phases of operation: air traffic management (ATM) communication navigation and surveillance services (CNS) meteorological services for air navigation (MET) aeronautical information services (AIS) and search and rescue (SAR). This book is designed for working professionals in Air Transport Management but also undergraduate and postgraduate students studying air transport management and aeronautical engineering. It will also be very helpful for the training of air traffic control officers (ATCOs). The book does not require any prior (specialist) knowledge as it is an introduction to air navigation service provider (ANSP) business. There is very little literature available that gives a detailed appreciation of the complexities potential risks and issues associated with the provision of air navigation services. The role of this book is to fill this significant gap with a comprehensive in-depth study of the management principles related to ANSPs. This is particularly timely given recent ATC developments in Europe USA and New Zealand. Airlines and airports rely on the ANSPs for the management of air traffic. Hence air navigation services (ANS) provision is considered as a core element for air transportation. | Air Traffic Management Principles Performance Markets

Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo

Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo

Air cargo is a key element of the global supply chain. It allows outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries and links production in both multinational and smaller enterprises. It has also been the most important driver of certain export industries in countries such as South Africa Kenya and Chile. As a component of the air transport industry air cargo makes the crucial difference between profit and loss on many long-haul routes. This second edition of Moving Boxes by Air offers a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the business and practices of air cargo with chapters dedicated to key issues such as current trends market characteristics regulation airport terminal operations pricing and revenues and environmental impacts. The book illustrates the recent emphasis on mergers at the expense of alliances which have not had the impact that they had on passenger operations. The section on security has been expanded to assess in more depth the threats to aircraft from terrorists particularly in the lower cargo and passenger baggage compartments. Surcharges are examined and the book considers whether all airlines will follow the lead of some to do away with both fuel and security surcharges. The book concludes with a summary of the latest industry forecasts. Fully updated throughout this edition is the definitive guide to air cargo for professionals within both the aviation and freight industries. | Moving Boxes by Air The Economics of International Air Cargo

The Birth of Independent Air Power British Air Policy in the First World War

The Birth of Independent Air Power British Air Policy in the First World War

In forming the Royal Air Force on 1 April 1918 Britain created the world’s first independent air service. Britain entered the First World War with less than 200 ill-assorted flying machines divided between the army and the navy but by the end of the war the RAF mustered almost 300 000 personnel and 22 000 aircraft. Originally published in 1986 more than 65 years after the event the decision to form the RAF remained poorly understood and Malcolm Cooper presented the first detailed modern analysis of its creation shedding new light on the process by which Britain entered the air age. Set against the background of the build-up of air power during the First World War the book explains how deepening political concern at failures in home air defence public demands for retaliatory air action against Germany problems of mobilization and expansion in the aircraft industry and disagreements between the existing army and navy air services combined to create the conditions for an independent air force. The author argues that the pressures of war were insufficient to give real substance to the RAF’s independence and that its failure to escape from its wartime role as an ancillary service was also of crucial significance in the evolution of British air strategy in later years. Based on an extensive study of official documents and private papers and amply illustrated with contemporary photographs this title will prove invaluable in understanding both strategic thinking in the Great War and the early development of a form of warfare which dominated military and naval operations in the twentieth century. | The Birth of Independent Air Power British Air Policy in the First World War

Air Pollution and Climate Change The Basics

Air Pollution and Climate Change The Basics

This book identifies four key forms of air pollution: indoor urban regional and global. It discusses how these four types of pollution are manifest in today’s society and examines the scientific and policy challenges that stand in the way of progress. Written in a style that balances scientific underpinnings with accessible language Pearson and Derwent examine the sources and historical context of air pollutants before dedicating a chapter to each of the key forms. Armed with these basics they begin to address the challenges faced by improving indoor urban and regional air quality whilst reducing global warming in the years ahead. This leads to a greater understanding of the challenges of global climate change with new proposals for reducing global warming. However the authors conclude that it is only when we have a scenario of reforestation combined with reductions in emissions of all greenhouse gases that real progress will be made in the fight against climate change. Then air pollution will also be consigned to history. With a foreword written by Professor James Lovelock this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change and environmental policy as well as air quality professionals working in this important field. | Air Pollution and Climate Change The Basics

The Royal Flying Corps the Western Front and the Control of the Air 1914–1918

The Royal Flying Corps the Western Front and the Control of the Air 1914–1918

By the middle of 1918 the British Army had successfully mastered the concept of ’all arms’ warfare on the Western Front. This doctrine integrating infantry artillery armoured vehicles and - crucially - air power was to prove highly effective and formed the basis of major military operations for the next hundred years. Yet whilst much has been written on the utilisation of ground forces the air element still tends to be studied in isolation from the army as a whole. In order to move beyond the usual 'aircraft and aces' approach this book explores the conceptual origins of the control of the air and the role of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) within the British army. In so doing it addresses four key themes. First it explores and defines the most fundamental air power concept - the control of the air - by examining its conceptual origins before and during the First World War. Second it moves beyond the popular history of air power during the First World War to reveal the complexity of the topic. Third it reintegrates the study of air power during the First World War specifically that of the RFC into the strategic operational organisational and intellectual contexts of the era as well as embedding the study within the respective scholarly literatures of these contexts. Fourth the book reinvigorates an entrenched historiography by challenging the usually critical interpretation of the RFC’s approach to the control of the air providing new perspectives on air power during the First World War. This includes an exploration of the creation of the RAF and its impact on the development of air power concepts. | The Royal Flying Corps the Western Front and the Control of the Air 1914–1918

Allied Air Attacks and Civilian Harm in Italy 1940–1945 Bombing among Friends

Allied Air Attacks and Civilian Harm in Italy 1940–1945 Bombing among Friends

Tens of thousands of Italian civilians perished in the Allied bombing raids of World War II. More of them died after the Armistice of September 1943 than before when the air attacks were intended to induce Italy’s surrender. Allied Air Attacks and Civilian Harm in Italy 1940–1945 addresses this seeming paradox by examining the views of Allied political and military leaders Allied air crews and Italians on the ground. It tells the stories of a little-known diplomat (Myron Charles Taylor) military strategist (Solly Zuckerman) resistance fighter (Aldo Quaranta) and peace activist (Vera Brittain) – architects and opponents of the bombing strategies. It describes the fate of ordinary civilians drawing on a wealth of local and digital archival sources memoir accounts novels and films including Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and John Huston’s The Battle of San Pietro. The book will be of interest to readers concerned about the ethical legal and human dimensions of bombing and its effects on civilians to students of military strategy and Italian history and to World War II buffs. They will benefit from a people-focused history that draws on a range of eclectic and rarely used sources in English and Italian.

The Regulation of Air Transport From Protection to Liberalisation and Back Again

The Regulation of Air Transport From Protection to Liberalisation and Back Again

The regulation of modern civil aviation can be traced back to the later years of the Second World War. An intense debate about the future regulatory regime resulted in a compromise which to this day essentially dictates the structure of the global airline industry. Further progress towards ‘normalising’ the industry appears to be slowing down and perhaps even going into reverse. Without an understanding of the development of regulation it is not possible to understand fully the industry’s current problems and how they might be resolved. Many books have been written about the development of international air transport covering deregulation privatisation the emergence of new business models among other things but few if any have taken a broad view of the trends which have determined the industry’s current structure. The Regulation of Air Transport charts the development of aviation from the end of the Second World War to the present day following the key trends and disruptive forces. It provides an overview of what has determined the industry’s current structure the problems still facing the industry and the ways in which it could develop in the future. This wide-ranging study is important reading for both professionals and academics within the aviation field as well as anyone interested in the broader development of economic regulation. | The Regulation of Air Transport From Protection to Liberalisation and Back Again

The Development of British Naval Aviation 1914–1918

The Development of British Naval Aviation 1914–1918

The Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) revolutionized warfare at sea on land and in the air. This little-known naval aviation organization introduced and operationalized aircraft carrier strike aerial anti-submarine warfare strategic bombing and the air defence of the British Isles more than 20 years before the outbreak of the Second World War. Traditionally marginalized in a literature dominated by the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force the RNAS and its innovative practitioners nevertheless shaped the fundamentals of air power and contributed significantly to the Allied victory in the First World War. The Development of British Naval Aviation utilizes archival documents and newly published research to resurrect the legacy of the RNAS and demonstrate its central role in Britain’s war effort. | The Development of British Naval Aviation 1914–1918

Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast

Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast

The Communication Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) systems provide air traffic controllers with the information necessary to ensure the specified separation between aircraft and efficient management of airspace as well as assistance to flight crew for safe navigation. However the radar systems that support air traffic management (ATM) and in particular air traffic control (ATC) are at their operational limit. This is particularly acute in the provision of the ATC services in low altitude remote and oceanic areas. Limitations in the current surveillance systems include unavailability of services in oceanic and remote areas limited services during extreme weather conditions and outdated equipment with limited availability of spare parts to support system operation. These limitations have resulted in fatal accidents. This book addresses the limitations of radar to support ATC in various operational environments identified and verified by analysing five years of safety data from Avinor the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) in Norway. It derives a set of taxonomy and from this develops a causal model for incident/accident due to limitations in the surveillance system. The taxonomy provides a new method for ANSPs to categorize incidents while the causal model is useful for incident/accident investigations. The book also provides theoretical justifications for the use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) to overcome the limitations of radar systems and identify areas of improvements to enable seamless ATC services. Written in a style that makes it accessible to non-specialists Aircraft Surveillance Systems will be of interest to many in the field of aviation particularly ATM safety and accident/incident investigation. It will also offer a useful reference on this vital topic for air traffic management courses. | Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

While international negotiations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been less than satisfactory there is a presumption that a significant level of multi-lateral commitment will be realized at some point. International air and marine travel have been left to one side in past talks because the pursuit of agreement proceeds on the basis of commitment by sovereign nations and the effects of these specific commercial activities are by their nature difficult to corral and assign to specific national jurisdictions. However air travel is increasing and unless something is done emissions from this segment of our world economy will form a progressively larger percentage of the total especially as emissions fall in other activities. This book focuses on fuel. The aim is to provide background in technical and policy terms from the broadest reliable sources of information available for the necessary discourse on society's reaction to the evolving aviation emissions profile. It considers what policy has been why and how commercial air travel is committed to its current liquid fuel how that fuel can be made without using fossil-source materials and the barriers to change. It also advances some elements of policy remedies that make sense in providing an environmentally and economically sound way forward in a context that comprehends a more complete vision of sustainability than 'renewable fuels' traditionally have. The goal of Will Sustainability Fly? is to broaden and contextualize the knowledge resource available to academics policy makers air industry leaders and stakeholders and interested members of the public. | Will Sustainability Fly?
